Here are the remaining (full-size) screenshots I've found, followed by some information on the game. Gimmick aside, the production values are impressive. They've even thrown in the gimmick of 3D depth, using a permanent set of glasses fixed to a moving arm (the 3D effect is optional). Until now, Winding Heat was the last Road Fighter game Konami made (though they made other arcade racers), and they certainly seem to have spared no expense in bringing it back. Aside from Enthusia, I had never heard of a Konami racing game, so I was rather surprised when I found it at a local go-kart park. The sequel, Winding Heat, featured a mix of '90s Japanese sportscars racing on touge-like tracks with some rather detailed physics for a game of its age (1996). I don't know much about that game, but I've actually played its sequel/update.
ROAD FIGHTER ARCADE SERIES
A year after the original Road Fighter, Konami made a pseudo-3D sequel called Konami RF2 - Red Fighter (also known as Konami GT).Ī Mk.3 Supra edging up on a 180SX in Winding HeatĪ decade later, the Road Fighter series returned in polygonal 3D with Midnight Run: Road Fighter 2, which also had a (reportedly terrible) Playstation port. It is somewhat well-known, and has subsequently been re-released numerous times, in Konami's Arcade Classics pack for the PSX and Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits for the DS, and more recently, on Microsoft's "Game Room" service, the Wii Virtual Console (in Japan), and Japanese cell phones. The original 1984 Road Fighter was a 2D overhead arcade racer that was also released for the MSX and NES. More importantly to some of us here, it seems they may have appropriated Enthusia staff members for the task! From the looks of it, Konami wants a piece of the card-based arcade racer pie (currently controlled by Initial D: Arcade Stage, Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune, and other, mostly-Japan-exclusive titles). Trucks goes on a straight way, but colliding with them will blow up the player's car.Released in Japanese arcades this past September, Road Fighters is not a new IP, but rather a reboot/remake of the Road Fighter series of the '80s and '90s. Blue cars vary in the way they change their lane. Red cars are a little less likely to appear, but they will change the lane they are travelling in once to get in the way of the player. Yellow cars will travel along a straight line and occur in large numbers. The NES version has a total of 6 types of cars, 1 yellow and red, three blue and one truck.
If the player crashes into any other car or slips on occasionally appearing patches of oil, the car will spin out and may crash into the side railings, causing a loss of 5-6 fuel units. The player has a limited amount of fuel and can earn more by touching special multi-colored cars. Pressing the 'A' button raises the player's speed to around 196 km/h while pressing the 'B' button skyrockets the speed to 400. In the arcade version, five stages were contained. The first and second levels contain 4 courses, ranging from grassy plains to an over water bridge to a seashore and finally a forest area. The game also spawned two sequels in its time, Midnight Run: Road Fighter 2 in 1995 and Winding Heat in 1996, respectively. The goal is to reach the finish line within the stages without running out of time, hitting other cars or running out of fuel (fuel is refilled by hitting a special type of car).
